Is a Kitchenaid mixer the same thing as a Cuisinart food processor?

My husband says they are and that I need to pick just one.

Nope. They are very different, and also very different in cost.

A cusinart food processor really only performs one task well… slicing up food into smaller pieces.
The Kitchenaid mixer has many attachments that allow you to not only mix things, but also perform pretty much the same functions as a food processor, a pasta maker, a fruit/vegetable strainer, a meat grinder, a sausage maker, etc..

My wife and I have both, however we only really ever use the Kitchenaid mixer.
